Earlier this month, CBI member BT and Chinese telecommunications giant ZTE Corporation announced the launch of a major new research partnership, which will explore next-generation fixed line, wireless and mobile telecommunications research.

Commenting on the new partnership, BT CIO Clive Selley said, "This is another example of BT's commitment to open innovation—combining with outstanding partners, customers and academic bodies to develop exciting new services and constantly improve the customer experience. We've been very impressed with the knowledge and sophistication of ZTE's team and, by combining our complementary strengths and expertise on a range of research projects, we expect this partnership to be very fruitful for both ourselves and our respective customers."

Xie Daxiong, EVP and CTO at ZTE, stated, "BT's UK and global experience and resources are a great match for ZTE's leadership in key fixed, wireless and device technologies, and we look forward to a close and effective research relationship."

China Direct would like to extend a warm welcome to Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei which has recently become a CBI member. 

Huawei's products and solutions have been deployed in more than 100 countries and have served 45 of the world's top 50 telecommunications operators, as well as one-third of the world's population.

A rising global leader in high-tech innovation, Huawei is a key proponent of intellectual property protection and ranked second worldwide in international patent applications in 2009, applying for a total of 42,543 patents globally.

With an active presence in the UK since 2001, Huawei plans to continue expanding its activities in Britain and deepening the positive relationships it has established with British business and consumers.

Last August, Huawei further strengthened its partnership with fellow CBI member BT by providing a number of access products to support the deployment of BT's new national fibre network across the UK.

Huawei's active collaboration with BT is playing an important role in helping bring super-fast broadband to the UK.

China Direct would like to thank Ben Cooper, Policy Analyst at CBI China, for providing this update.
